When I was young, yeah I was young one time, we?ve all been young.
But, this one time when I was young my buddy gave me a tape.
And it freaked me out.
I didn?t know what to do. It was like TNT. I was in my brother?s room.
And another time, different friend, different house,
different song, different band, he had real long hair,
pulled the record out, put the needle on oh yeah and freaked me out.
I?d never done drugs. I barely brushed my teeth.
Who'da known, who'da known, who'da known, who'da known
That it would be rock and roll
That would terrify me
That would haunt me so completely
Yeah you were there, summer-time, young love, halcyon days, elysian fields,
Marlboro reds, white car, blue eyes, cd in, cd in, cd in, a cd in a car stereo
and it freaked me out, what he said about love. You were right there
I don?t know where I was.
How much do I owe my uncle? I expect it?s more than I can pay.
He gave us a tascam, some maxells, a shure 57 and a stereo delay and it freaked me out.
Yeah the hum and the hiss. We were only 16, thought we were the shit
Who'da known, who'da known, who'da known, who'da known
That it would be rock and roll
That would terrify me
That would haunt me so completely
